Patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome and a preexisting psychiatric illness, particularly generalized anxiety disorder, were more likely to develop intensive care unit delirium.
Treatment with steroids within a 48-hour period after intubation in the intensive care unit was not associated with the development of acute respiratory distress syndrome.
In patients with ARDS, a positive net fluid balance is associated with increased odds of mortality and more ventilation use compared with patients with ARDS and a negative net fluid balance.
In patients with sepsis admitted to the ICU who were classified as obese experienced longer durations of ventilator use and had a higher risk for ARDS compared with patients with a normal BMI.
